Curtis Blackwell, one of the bona-fide bluegrass greats and former member of Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys, appears in Colfer's Pub, Carrig-on-Bannow, Co. Wexford, on Sunday next, 17 June, at 8.00 p.m. Curtis will be joined on his first ever visit to Ireland by Chuck Nation (fiddle), Susan Nation (bass), and Jim Pankey (banjo). This is a rare chance to catch an act that is one of the legends of bluegrass music in the U.S for the last forty years - up close and in the intimate setting that is Colfer's.
